Bread-lovers in one corner of South Bristol will have to find a new place to get their fix next month, as one of the area's top bakeries has announced it is closing.

Tucked away just off the Wells Road, Baked had gained a great reputation for its delicious breads and expert baking advice and won the Best Local Bakery award at the Bristol Good Food Awards in 2016.

The bakery, which opened in early 2015, uses traditional fermentation techniques to make fresh loaves ranging from sourdough to rye bread, and is committed to using quality ingredients from local suppliers.

What's happening to Baked?

Taking to social media to announce the news, Baked owner Ash Symons and his partner Ellie confirmed they are selling the bakery and moving on to pastures new.

Although there is no word yet on a potential buyer for Baked, the couple said they wanted to find a replacement with the same dedication as them, and added: "It’s time for us to move on and let someone else with a similar passion enjoy the business we have built.
